From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

A first look at the Four Weddings and a Funeral reunion has been revealed.

Original cast members from the 1994 film have returned for a short created for this year’s Red Nose Day, an event co-founded by the film’s screenwriter Richard Curtis.

The short, titled One Red Nose Day and a Wedding, is set to feature Hugh Grant, Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah, Rowan Atkinson, James Fleet, David Haig, Sophie Thompson, David Bower, Robin McCaffrey, Anna Chancellor, Rupert Vansittart, Simon Kunz, Sara Crowe and Timothy Walker.

They’ll also be joined by new characters, played by secret special guest stars.

The film’s original director, Mike Newell, has even returned to direct the sketch, which picks up 25 years after the original film.

It follows on from the success of Red Nose Day Actually, a short follow up to 2003’s Love Actually, written and directed by Curtis, that premiered during Red Nose Day’s 2017 edition.
